Bristol City walked League One last season although Steve Cotterill’s team are struggling to acclimatise to life in the Championship, sitting rock bottom after ten games.

In fairness, they are simply one of several teams sitting on seven / eight points and a win on Friday night would temporarily take them up to 19th spot although victories have been in short supply thus far.

The Robins’ only victory this season strangely came at the Riverside although Ashton Gate games have seen them claim just two points from five games played, with the team shipping eleven goals.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are faring slightly better and seem to enjoy life away from the City Ground, winning two and drawing two of their five away games.

Only Brighton have beaten the Tricky Trees and they really should have been out of sight recently at Huddersfield before getting pegged back. The same thing happened at Bolton and lessons will hopefully have been learnt.

Dougie Freedman is attempting to rebuild his managerial reputation after doing well with Crystal Palace before a bad spell with Bolton and his team look worth backing on the handicap.

Only Brighton have beaten Forest when they have taken to the road, with the Midlands side having fairly recently won at QPR and Birmingham City.
